A good course for beginners.

By Frank Kowalewicz on 5/13/2025

Extremely remedial. Most examples include Twitter integration with a connector not generally available for O365 corporate-licensed users.

By Nancy Treadgold on 4/3/2025

I showed me the basics of creating a flow and removed doubts that I could create these with ease

By Travis Olmstead on 1/12/2025

It's early to tell but so far the information is making sense and I have a few ideas in mind how I can put Power Automated to use in my day to day.

By Mark Ulloa on 1/2/2025

Thank you so much for explaining everything in such a clear and concise manner. I do really appreciate it! This is a very good beginner training.

By Edward Mallick on 11/16/2024

This course appears to be a good basic introduction to Power Automate. Lessons were brief and to the point, not to detailed. Maybe a course to take to wet your interest into the subject of Power Automate.

By Lois Rowlands on 11/7/2023

Yes, it's a great place to start learning about the functions and how to create a flow. I have a flow in mind that I would like to create so it will really help with that.

By Giuseppe Marino on 5/30/2023

As a small-business owner with restricted time and resources, I look to developing my IT skills to save time. So the connectors which interest me are ones like Adobe, Excel Word and Access, that is the ones concerned with productivity. However, Deborah preferred those concerned with social media (Twitter) and collaboration (Teams).

By Denny Permana on 7/7/2022

What I like about this course is the delivery of material that is easy to understand. It is suitable for beginners and those who do not have an IT or programming background.

By Lucy Tennison on 2/22/2022
